February 2012

by Andrew Adams

WinesVinesDATA reviewed the flash data from August through January and found that Last Bottle Wines offered the largest average discount of 48%, or $31.58. The site chose higher priced wines for its flash sales during the same period, meaning it offered the biggest deals on the most expensive wines. Despite the large discounts, Last Bottle Wines, which sells one wine until it’s sold out, still sold wine at the most expensive average flash price of $34.43. WineShopper posted the lowest flash price of $21.29 and an average discount of 39%. The cheapest wine by average retail price, $32.37, could be found on Wine Woot, which offered an average discount of 31%. In total, the nine major flash sites made 706 offers from 572 unique wineries in January. Wines Til Sold Out had the most offers with 154, followed by Last Call Wines’ 149 and Invino with 118.
